Current Summary for SE MI

  • The current best fit across all model simulations for Southeast Michigan gives a forecast of:
    • April 9, 2020 (1 week): roughly 31410 cumulative laboratory-confirmed cases
    • April 23, 2020 (3 weeks): roughly 85000 cumulative laboratory-confirmed cases
  • The current best fit across model simulations projects:
    • April 9, 2020 (1 week): roughly 2400 hospitalized patients (beds needed) with roughly 410 in ICU
    • April 23, 2020 (3 weeks): roughly 5000 hospitalized patients (beds needed) with roughly 860 in ICU

Note that the model is a work in progress and being updated as the epidemic progresses. Because we are still making improvements and including new data in the model, these results are highly preliminary and uncertain. The forecasts shown here also do not account for the ongoing changes in social distancing.
